Power Pistol !
I have worked up 200gn XTP's to 1038 f/s using Power Pistol. This was through a full-size Kimber 1911. I think your gun has a slightly shorter barrel, and may give up some 50 f/s or so.
The good news is that I was within Hornady's published data; and I think I still had some headroom. I did however set my OAL 30-thousandths longer (1.240"). That likely brings down peak pressure a tad.
On a side note, I have also taken 230 XTP's to 971 f/s. The charge weight exceeded published data on this one, and I got the sense that I was driving my Kimber really hard. But 230's going 971 (20-round average with amazingly low S.D.) is formidable in 45 ACP.
Point is, Power Pistol - from my experience - is excellent for the application (max velocity in 45 ACP).
You'll have to see for yourself how it goes for you. I won't mention charge weights. But I can assure you that I used Hornady's manual for my starting data and I would recommend others to do the same. I've used Power Pistol in a lot of calibers and the one characteristic that runs through all my testing is high velocity. Power Pistol makes bullets go fast.
